   • For Gmail/Outlook: Click the OAuth button and authorize in your browser
   • For other providers: Enter app password
   • For manual setup: Enter your server details
8. Notable Advance Settings - Some settings that you might care about:

Further Details

Choose your provider below for detailed on each provider's setup:

📄️ Gmail Setup

Aerion supports Gmail through two authentication methods: OAuth (recommended) and App Passwords.

📄️ Outlook Setup

Aerion supports Outlook.com, Hotmail, and Microsoft 365 accounts through Microsoft OAuth.

📄️ Other Email Providers

Aerion supports many email providers beyond Gmail and Outlook. This guide covers setup for pre-configured providers and manual configuration.

📄️ Custom Google OAuth Credentials

Aerion ships with its own OAuth credentials so that Gmail works out of the box, but you can also bring your own. This guide walks you through creating a Google Cloud project and using its OAuth Client ID and Secret for everything in one shot — Gmail, the Calendar extension, and the Contacts extension.

Initial Sync

After adding your account, Eterno Mail will sync your emails. This may take a long time depending on your mailbox size.

By default, Aerion syncs emails from the last 180 days. You can adjust this in the account settings.

Adding More Accounts

You can add multiple email accounts to Eterno Mail. Each account can have its own color for easy identification in the unified inbox.

To add another account, click the + Add Account button in the sidebar, or go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account.
